"Historically, the MI Corp does not produce good leaders." The previous quote is from an MI COl. I tend to agree. Do you agree and why?

I've met and served with both good and bad in the MI Corps. Leaders who focus their units on providing the "INT" to the warfighter tend to be good. Afterall, the intel Soldiers volunteered to be intel Soldiers. Those leaders who focus primarily on tactical skills and keeping their stats competitive with their combat arm peers in a BCT tend to be on the other end. Know your BRAND and be unequivocally the best at it. The intel footprint is far larger than that of a kinetic weapon. "Always Out Front"

I've had plenty of "leaders" from other branches that I wouldn't cross the street to piss on if they were on fire. Branch has nothing to do with it. If PT is an individual effort, then taking the time to develop yourself into someone that your subordinates can respect most assuredly is. Sadly, a lot of people with rank don't take that time. They fall into the role of someone who gets to tell others what to do based on the virtue of their rank.
There is enough bad leadership in the Army right now that I'm seeing E-7's and Captains just throw in the towel and get out than deal with the shenanigans their leaders are engaging in.

Not sure where you get the fact that MI Corps has poor leaders. Very general comment considering how large that branch is.
